Chen Gong and Zhang Miao hurriedly came to see Lu Bu with worried faces.
"Marquis Wen, something bad has happened."
Seeing the two people in such a hurry, Lu Bu was startled and asked hurriedly, "Gongtai, Meng Zhuo, what happened? Did Yuan Benchu attack Dong'a?"
Chen Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Marquis Wen, do you know Xuzhou General Cao Bao?"
"Cao Bao?"
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with confusion, then nodded, "I know."
In the game, he once heard Lonely Xianyu say that after he went to Xuzhou, Cao Bao would become his father-in-law. How could he not know that?
Zhang Miao was anxious, "Marquis Wen, Cao Bao wants to marry his daughter to Cao Mengde's son, and the two families want to get married."
"What"
Although the news that came back from Xuzhou was just a matter of a man getting married and a woman getting married, when Lu Bu heard it, he was shocked and dumbfounded.
Chen Gong sighed, "Marquis Wen, you know how powerful this is, right?"
At this point, Chen Gong did not wait for Lu Bu to speak, and continued, "If Cao Bao marries his daughter to Cao Mengde's son, the two of them will become in-laws, and Cao Mengde will have helpers in Xuzhou."
Hearing this, Zhang Miao snorted coldly, "Let me tell you, Cao Bao has evil intentions. The reason why he wants to marry his daughter to Cao Mengde's son is probably because he wants to promote Cao Mengde to the throne, and he has no good intentions."
Chen Gong nodded, "After several battles, Cao Mengde lost his troops and generals, and his strength was damaged, so he had no choice but to retreat to Xuzhou.
If Cao Bao helps him occupy Xuzhou, I'm afraid he will be able to regain his strength soon. At that time, once he unites with Jizhou and attacks us from both sides, our situation will not be good."
Zhang Miao nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, we must not let him do this, otherwise it will be terrible if Cao Mengde takes over Xuzhou."
At this time, Lu Bu gradually calmed down from his shock and began to think about the pros and cons of this matter.
There is no doubt that Cao Bao wants to drive away Liu Bei. Therefore, if he wants to marry his daughter to Cao Mengde's son, he must want to help Cao Mengde rise to power. There is no doubt about this.
The question is, what should I do now?
Should we stop them or let them go?
Just when Lu Bu was hesitant, Zhang Miao was impatient and couldn't help asking, "Marquis Wen, what should we do?"
Lu Bu said nothing and turned to look at Chen Gong, "Gongtai, what do you mean?"
Chen Gong frowned and said slowly, "Cao Mengde is very cunning. If he is allowed to regain his strength, once he unites with Jizhou, the consequences will be disastrous."
At this point, Chen Gong raised his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, why not find a way to destroy this marriage and prevent them from joining together?"
Lu Bu thought for a while, "Both families are willing to unite, how can we outsiders stop it? Gongtai, do you have any idea?"
Upon hearing Lu Bu's question, Chen Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No."
Zhang Miao suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, why don't we send people to Xuzhou to get rid of Cao Bao's daughter? Naturally, they will not be able to unite?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu shook his head with a wry smile, "Meng Zhuo, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you think."
Chen Gong nodded, "Cao Bao is not only the general of Xuzhou, he is also the Prime Minister of Xiapi. He has a high and powerful position. The home must be well-defended. If you want to get rid of Cao Bao's daughter, you can't use too many troops. It's just a few people.
Impossible."
Zhang Miao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know it's not easy, but are we just watching them join forces and do nothing?"
Chen Gong waved his hand, "Meng Zhuo, if I do it according to your method, I'm afraid not only will it not succeed, but it will also be discovered by them, which will turn out to be bad."
Zhang Miao turned to Lu Bu and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, what do you think we should do?"
Upon hearing the question, Lu Bu frowned even more tightly and shook his head with a wry smile, "Meng Zhuo, this is too sudden. Let me think about it."
Chen Gong suddenly said, "Actually, even if we want to stop it, we can't do it."
Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Chen Gong, "Gongtai, why can't you do it?"
Chen Gong smiled bitterly and cupped his hands, "Although Yuan Shao of Jizhou is confronting Gongsun Zan of Youzhou at this time, who can guarantee whether he will send people to attack Yanzhou?
Our current military strength is insufficient. On the one hand, we must guard against Jizhou, and on the other hand, we must plan for Xudu. Qingzhou must also be guarded. In this way, our already insufficient military strength will be further dispersed, and we will not dare to act rashly.<
/p>
If we disrupt their marriage now and cause their dissatisfaction, Cao Cao or Liu Bei may unite to attack Yanzhou. At that time, if Jizhou also starts to send troops to attack Yanzhou, it will be terrible.
”
Hearing this, Zhang Miao stamped his feet bitterly, "Gongtai, according to what you said, then we can only watch helplessly?"
Chen Gong sighed and said with a wry smile, "Meng Zhuo, watching helplessly now is probably our only choice."
Zhang Miao gritted his teeth, "But if Cao Mengde is allowed to occupy Xuzhou, it will be even more detrimental to us."
Chen Gong shook his head, "Meng Zhuo, actually you don't have to worry. The three Liu Bei brothers are not ordinary people. If Cao Mengde wants to take Xuzhou by force, a war will inevitably break out and both sides will be hurt."
Hearing this, Zhang Miao's eyes lit up, "Gongtai, do you mean to say that we will take action when they are both defeated?"
Chen Gong nodded, "If things can evolve like this, it will be in our best interest."
Lu Bu listened to Chen Gong's words, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he waved his hand, "Gongtai, Meng Zhuo, this matter is not trivial. Let us all think about it carefully and make a decision before it is too late."
Chen Gong nodded, "It's okay. Although the two of them have the idea of getting married, they haven't officially gotten married yet. It should take some time."
……
Lu Bu waited until the two of them left. Seeing that the time was almost up, he immediately came to the study, closed the door, and then thought silently in his heart.
"Enter the game."
Lu Bu felt his eyes light up and appeared in the backyard of the cottage.
This time online, Lu Bu also wanted to discuss it with someone.
Although Chen Gong is resourceful, he always has limitations when he is in a situation.
Although Lonely Xianyu is just an ordinary person, looking at history, he is an outsider in the whole matter and should see it more clearly.
"Lonely salted fish, are you here?"
"Boss, I'm here, I'm here, talk quickly."
Lonely Xianyu answered immediately as always, so fast that Lu Bu was amazed.
"Lonely salted fish, something big happened again this time, so I want to discuss it with you."
Hearing this sentence, the lonely salted fish grinned so happily that it almost reached his ears.
"Boss, please tell me quickly, I can't wait any longer."
Being able to participate in history is a good thing that money simply cannot buy.
As long as the lonely Xianyu thought that his participation could change history, he would tremble with excitement, and even his tone would become urgent.
"Lonely Xianyu, I remember you once said that after I was defeated by Cao Mengde, I went to Xuzhou, and then Cao Bao married his daughter to me, right?"
The lonely Xianyu's eyes lit up, "Yes, Cao Bao did marry his daughter to you.
Could it be that this time, Cao Bao wants to marry his daughter to you again?"
Lu Bu shook his head with a wry smile, "Lonely salted fish, Cao Bao does want to marry his daughter, but not me."
At this point, Lu Bu paused and took a deep breath before telling this exciting news.
"Lonely salted fish, Cao Bao wants to marry his daughter to Cao Cao's son."
"What?"
Hearing the news, Lonely Xianyu was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
"Boss, are you kidding me? Cao Bao wants to marry his daughter to Cao Cao's son. How is this possible?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "According to the news from the spies, Cao Bao has sent Lu You to propose marriage. There is absolutely no mistake."
The lonely Xianyu opened his mouth wide and was shocked for a long time before he finally realized, "Boss, is this true?"
Lu Bu nodded, "It's true."
At this point, Lu Bu didn't wait for the lonely Xianyu to answer, and asked slowly, "I'm just calling you this time to ask, what should I do?
Cao Bao wants to marry his daughter to Cao Mengde's son. He must want to help Cao Mengde seize Xuzhou. Do you think he should stop it?"
Hearing Lu Bu's words, the lonely Xianyu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "I understand, I finally understand."
Lu Bu was stunned, "Lonely salted fish, what do you understand?"
The lonely Xianyu sighed, "When I read that period of history, I was still wondering, how could Zhang Fei do such unreasonable things even if he was reckless?"
Lu Bu frowned, "Lonely salted fish, what are you thinking about?"
Lonely Xianyu smiled bitterly and said, "I remember what happened was like this. When Zhang Fei was drinking, he forced him to drink even though he knew Cao Bao didn't drink. Finally, he beat Cao Bao because of his drunkenness.
It seems now that from the day Cao Bao married his daughter to you, Liu Bei had guessed Cao Bao’s thoughts and wanted to help you capture Xuzhou.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were able to hold back and not let outsiders see it, but Zhang Fei had a hot temper and couldn't help it. He always wanted to teach Cao Bao a lesson and make him retreat.
But unexpectedly, Cao Bao not only did not retreat despite the difficulties, but instead lured you here while he was drunk, and then took advantage of the situation to capture Xuzhou.
Now I finally understand that the reason why Zhang Fei beat up Cao Bao was not because he was reckless, but because he had anger in his heart."
Lu Bu smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, maybe you are right, so what do you think we should do now, should we stop this?"
The lonely Xianyu frowned and thought quickly, "Should I stop it?"
After all, he was an outsider. He just thought about the relationship between several people, suddenly his heart moved, and he reacted suddenly.
"Boss, why are you so anxious?"
Lu Bu asked doubtfully, "Lonely Xianyu, what do you mean by this? Why don't I have to worry?"
The lonely Xianyu laughed loudly, "Boss, Cao Cao is in Xuzhou now. Cao Bao married his daughter to his son in order to seize Xuzhou. The most anxious person should not be you, but Liu Bei. Boss, what do you think?
Right?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but laugh, "Lonely salted fish, that's really good. I didn't expect you to think of this. It's really rare."
Lonely Xianyu was praised by Lu Bu, and he felt happy in his heart. His slightly hunched back suddenly straightened up, as if he was now a famous counselor in ancient times.
"Boss, if you can use this opportunity to let the two of them fight, this will be the most beneficial thing for you.
If you stop this marriage, wouldn't it be a loss of this opportunity, which would be bad, don't you think?"
Hearing Lonely Xianyu's words, Lu Bu was completely relieved and nodded, "Lonely Xianyu, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, maybe I would have sent someone to stop their marriage.
."
The lonely Xianyu waved his hand hurriedly, "Boss, we are all our own people, don't be polite."
Speaking of which, Lonely Xianyu had seen this history after all, and said with a smile.
"Boss, when you were in Xuzhou, Cao Cao gave you a lot of strategies, such as two tigers fighting each other, not being close to each other, etc., just to get you to fight with Liu Bei, so that he could benefit.
If the two of them still can't fight this time, you can use these calculations again and give them back to Cao Mengde so that he can have a taste of it.
By the way, there is also Yuan Shu of Huainan, I am afraid that he is also thinking about this day, so he might as well take him with him, and we can work together to get rid of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and avoid this threat."
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, "Lonely salted fish, what's the plan for two tigers to fight against each other?"
The lonely Xianyu slowly explained the strategy Cao Cao had given Lu Bu during this period, and finally said with a smile.
"Boss, as long as you use all these measures, I don't believe that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will not be able to fight."
Speaking of this, the lonely Xianyu suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Boss, how is Xu Du's situation?"
Lu Bu smiled slightly, "Lonely salted fish, since the emperor has entered the game, he naturally knows the process of history, so he definitely does not want to stay in Xudu."
Lonely Xianyu said with a smile, "Boss, have you used the method we mentioned last time?"
Lu Bu nodded, "Of course, although Zhang Liao defeated Li Jue and Li Jue, he did not destroy them. He just sent them to Luoyang.
When the emperor heard that Li Jue and his two men were in Luoyang, he did not dare to go back. He just kept urging me to send troops to eliminate them so that they could return to Luoyang."
At this point, Lu Bu sighed, "But there are too many things going on in Yanzhou, and there is no way to divide the troops. Although I also want to send people to destroy Li Jue, my strength does not allow it, so I can only wait and see."
The lonely Xianyu smiled and said, "When the palace in Xudu is completed and the boss moves there, it will be impossible for the emperor to return to Luoyang."
Lu Bu nodded, "That's right. By the way, you talked about the farming thing last time. If you talk about it carefully, make sure nothing is left behind."
The lonely Xianyu hurriedly waved his hand, "How could I forget about the boss's affairs?
By the way, I found a drawing of a curved shaft plow. You should take a good look at it. This thing may be of great use."
